Well, I left that for the OP to figure out. Still, your regex is
worse - a domain name cannot contain '%'. The only valid characters
for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen. Also, maximum
length for a domain name is 64 characters, which could/should be
checked too.

No, they can't. There are no 8-bit characters allowed in an
email-address. Check out RFC2821.

If that reads "tedd(at)<space>.com", it might be valid on your system,
but not in public.
